Foreclosure Prevention Measures In Massachusetts or Connecticut and the rest of

Local homeowners who are facing a financial challenge may find themselves in foreclosure.

Foreclosure is when the mortgage loan doesn’t get paid back and the bank begins the process to take ownership of the property to recoup its losses.

If you find yourself entering the foreclosure process, you might wonder if there is anything you can do about it.

In this blog post, you’ll read about a few foreclosure prevention measures in Massachusetts or Connecticut that you can take to keep your home from foreclosure.

Foreclosure prevention measures in Massachusetts or Connecticut

These foreclosure prevention measures might not all work in your situation but we’re telling you about them so you can make the decision for yourself:

1. Pay off your mortgage / sell your property. The quickest and easiest way to end the foreclosure process is to pay off your mortgage. After all, this is all the banks wanted in the first place so they would be happy to let you stay in your home and they get their money back. Admittedly, this is not always possible, which is perhaps the reason that you’re in foreclosure in the first place.

2. Work out a deal with your bank. Sometimes you can work out a deal with your bank where you sit down with a mortgage or foreclosure specialist and talk to them about changing the structure of your mortgage. Perhaps your payments get spread out so they are lower each month, for example. Just make sure that the deal works for you — you don’t want to just repeat the process.

3. Do a short sale. A short sale is when you sell the property and use the proceeds of the sale to pay down or pay off your outstanding amount with the bank. This keeps a foreclosure from impacting your credit score and it gets the bank off your back!

4. Give your deed in lieu. Another option would be a deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure, which basically means that you will hand over the deed to your house to the bank and they agree not to put you through foreclosure. This will often only work if your house is worth approximately the amount owing on the mortgage. If not, the bank may pursue the difference.

5. File for bankruptcy. In some ways, a bankruptcy is far more dramatic than a foreclosure because it impacts your whole life. However, once you file for bankruptcy, the foreclosure process has to stop so it’s still a foreclosure prevention measure.

If you’re not sure which one to do, consider this: If you can afford payments and you want to stay in the house then a foreclosure workout arrangement (#2) is probably your best option.

If you want to put everything behind you and move on with your life then consider selling your home and paying off your mortgage with that money.

Testimonials

Mass Property Buyers

We were overwhelmed. “We needed to relocate my father to an assisted living facility. We were in the process of cleaning up the house and organizing when we realized it was just too much. We were overwhelmed. I didn’t want to list the house with a realtor in its current condition and with my dad still in the house we didn’t want a bunch of people walking through the house for showings. I reached out to many online companies. Most of them didn’t even respond. Finally we found Mass Property Buyers. They were able to look at our dad’s house later that day and had a cash offer to us the next day. The offer was fair and they were able to set the closing based on our timeline. They explained everything, the process from offer to closing was wonderful, we were able to close near my work so I didn’t have to miss work.”

Helped Our Family. “The Mass Property Buyers team made the process of selling my mother’s house easy. My sister and I contacted them after our mother passed. The house needed repairs and was filled with years of junk. They gave us a reasonable price and took the house as is. We took whatever items we wanted and left the rest of the junk behind. They were fair and honest. I would recommend Mass Property Buyers to anyone who is looking to sell an unwanted house.

We sold our home fast. “Our experience with Mass Property Buyers was excellent, fast and professional. We had a time constraint in regards to closing since we were moving out of state, and we were able to close in 6 days, which we think is exceptional. We would definitely recommend them to anyone selling their home.”
